Holiday Hoopla Treasure Hunt

It's LISA here and I was wondering if you would like to have a little fun today and earn your opportunity to win some goodies along the way?!  Well if your answer is 'YES', then keep reading...

 We have a nine letter word that you need to figure out:

_____     _____    _____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____     _____   

Clue's will be released on each of the participating DT members' blogs to help you figure out what the word is.  You can see the full line up below. 

When you receive a clue, you must go to the store and figure out what letter it is we are looking for.  Once you have filled in each blank, you will need to mail your answer to the address provided.

Just to make sure you understand, I'm going to walk you through the process, which will give you your first letter.

Clue #1

• Go to the Fresh Brewed Designs Store at http://www.freshbreweddesigns.com/
• Click on Digital Stamps (left), scroll down and click on Winter / Christmas / New Year from the choices provided.
• Click to enter the Snowbuddies section.
• What is the name of the image in the second column, sixth row down? 
• What is the second letter in this image's name?  Take that letter and write it down.  This is your first of nine letters.

Now to make sure that you did it correctly you should have found the image, "Cookies and Milk for Santa".

The second letter in the name is of course an 'O'.

_O_    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___    ___ 

You now have your first blank filled in.  You will be provided with clues, including a visual clue, from each team member, to make sure you find the correct image at each stop along the way.

Ready to start?

 

Well, then head on over to PATTI 's Blog, http://scrapclose2theheart.wordpress.com/, right now for your second clue.

If you happen to get lost along the way you can find the complete line up below:

The Treasure Hunt starts here at Fresh Brewed Designs (http://freshbreweddesigns.blogspot.com/)

Go to PATTI 's Blog, http://scrapclose2theheart.wordpress.com/, for clue #2.

Go to EDWINA's Blog, http://edwinascreations.blogspot.com/, for clue #3.

Go to LINDA's Blog, http://stamperstouch.blogspot.com/, for clue #4.

Go to HEATHER's Blog, http://joemamainks.blogspot.com/, for clue #9. 

Now don't worry, if you aren't around for the day as you will have until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. EST, to complete the treasure hunt and email me your answers.  We want to make sure that all of our readers have the chance to participate.

Prizes!!!

What is a Treasure Hunt without prizes?!  Everyone who gets the word correct will have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to use in the Fresh Brewed Designs store.  Winner will be chosen randomly from among all correctly answered entries.  Additionally, everyone who participates by submitting a guess AND leaving a comment on every single blog participating in the Treasure Hunt (i.e. all those names listed above), will receive a specially selected digital image from the store.  It will be mailed to each participant after we have verified that comments were left on each blog. 

That is a freebie simply for playing along and your chance to win a $10 gift certificate from Fresh Brewed Designs.  To top it off, there might be additional opportunities to win a goody or two over on some of the DT member's blogs.  Seems like pretty good incentive for playing along, doesn't it?  Well, I hope that you agree and join us today in this fun little treasure hunt to help us all gear up and get into the holiday spirit.

Once you have all of your blanks filled in and you know what the word is, send an email to FBD_winclaims {at} outlook {dot} com (or by clicking HERE to bring the address up in your email program), and letting me know what you think the word is. Please use the subject heading, "FBD: Holiday Hoopla Treasure Hunt Guess".   

A winner announcement will be posted later in the week.

We look forward to seeing you participate!!! 

HAPPY HUNTING!!!

Our Hop this month includes ANY AND ALL

 previously released FBD rubber stamps!
You will see a variety of stamps from 2010 - 2012 from many talented crafters.

The card I created for you features the 

FBD Rubber Stamp Wreath Girl.

I really have fun using my stamps for various purposes. 

I find that many stamps can be used in a variety of ways and I always set out to see how I can mask and change them up to suit my needs. I LOVE Christmas. All I did for this card was add hand drawn circles to the wreath and colored it in. You could use mini stamps or patterned paper as well.
